N2002 Audigy settings?

I'm having trouble getting good sound in N2002 with my Audigy Gamer (W98se Dx8.1 AMDXP1800). Have most recent audigy driver. Have installed the N2002 patch, don't notice much difference. One thing I changed which helped *some* was in core.ini changing "allow_buffer_recreation=" from 0 to 1. Also set "force_default_buffer_size=6. Before doing this, sound would cut out completely when running with a lot of cars, like when accelerating @ the green flag from the back of Dega.. Sound still is not clear, and the engine sound will cut out briefly when accelerating. What sound settings do you recommend in the app.ini and core.ini files? My core.ini sound settings: [Sound] allow_buffer_recreation=1 convert_3d_stereo=1 enable_3d_interpolation=1 force_default_buffer_size=6 force_min_readahead=3.000000 interpolationValue=0 Thanks

I have tried changing the buffer size with no luck, I am having the same problems as you, except mine occured after applying the patch. Prior to the patch, mine was working pretty good. I am about at the point to try a totally new install, as it is very difficult to race online as it is now.

Have you tried turning down the hardware acceleration on that card? -- Chris H.

No, but if you saw my post in another thread, I solved it by turning down the volume output on the audigy, knocked it down couple of notches, and just cranked the volume up with my speaker control. No more static thankfully. Don Burnette "Chris H." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:%Idz8.261412$[email hidden]...

Nope, missed it Don. Might try decreasing the acceleration on the hardware and you'll probably get your volume control back to normal. 8-) -- Chris H.

Gary... I have applied the N2K2 patch to two sim rigs of ours.....one with an Audigy...the other with an SB Live 5.1 X-Gamer (one is my personal racing rig for N2K2). Post patch sound is total junk. I changed nothing from the settings used in the pre-patch N2K2....and the sound was awesome! Now its crackling, cutting out...total junk. I don't know what Papy did.......but they sure don't address this issue in the readme that I can see. I tried copying the sound.dat from the original CD back into the post-patch sound folder (I know..it was a long shot...but worth a try)....that did nothing....sound is still junk. I'm hoping Papy will give us a clue as to the fix for this....soon. I tried racing online tonight....couldn't. The sound was so irritating, I just exited and did something else.

I've tried a little of everything, and though not perfect, these settings are better on my system: - Hardware acceleration: 1 notch below full - core.ini settings: [Sound] allow_buffer_recreation=1 ; re-create sound buffers to improve quality convert_3d_stereo=0 ; convert stereo to mono for positional sounds in 3d mode enable_3d_interpolation=1 ; enable volume interpolation for 3d sound force_default_buffer_size=3 ; Set forced buffer size in 1/36 second units. Define a value of 3 or larger force_min_readahead=1.000000 ; Set forced read ahead, expressed in 1/36 second ticks. interpolationValue=0 For me, with these settings the sound does not cut out when in the middle of the pack accelerating at 'dega. Also, the sound no longer cuts out when I rev the engine. When the read-ahead value was large, the sound would cut out briefly when revving the engine, both on the way up and on the way down.
